    I'm a constitutional conservative and I've bashed Trump four out of five posts. I have few friends on the right because of this.

    The man is filth. He is wholly unqualified for POTUS.

    On the other hand, sorry folks, but Trump is simply 'not a conservative' ... he's registered a Republican (R) and was also a Republican (R) before he was a Democrat (D) before he was a Republican (R)... or something to that effect.

    Some of his campaign promises appear conservative (mostly in the areas of national security and judicial appointments), but will he live up to his promises? Time will tell. Can he get congressional support when he needs it?

    To label him a conservative is a big stretch. His policy statements on taxing imports worry free-traders and market capitalists...

    Hoping he doesn't turn out to be a crony capitalist...

    A better question might be how many "non-conservatives" have reached a breaking point...

    by the looks of what's being printed and spun in the media swamp, it's hitting all sides of the political spectrum.

    If there is a breaking point it probably won't be because of Trump.
    It will most likely be in having to deal daily with the childish temper tantrums from some on the left. There is only so much crying, whining, feet stomping, but he hurt my feelings, and so forth behavior one can stand.
    Even my two year old granddaughter knows when enough is enough.

    Well that's absolute bull(*)(*)(*)(*) and you know it.

    Here's a better question. When will the left reach the breaking point on being histories biggest sore losers, it's been 3 months. Get over it already.

    No, you avoided the question and then tried to deflect to Hillary. It's a common tactic when trump apologists don't have any substantive to add. Again, it wasn't surprising.

    Exactly. President Trump accomplished more in a week than Barack did in eight years. The stock market is flourishing higher, Christmas shopping was higher than before 9-11, three big car makers coming back to Michigan, etc. They think they are whipped now, wait until all his cabinet people are in place.
    The left are so desperate they are trying to convince the president's supporters that everything he is fighting for, is lost. Of course they would believe that when the media told them over and over that Hillary would win.:roflol: Obama had the majority of the media behind him no matter he did not fulfill his promises, Gitmo, middle east peace, Obama care premiums and lied like a dog.

    The president's supporters are just fine. The left should just worry how the democrat party, with their hate and desperate actions, will ever win another election.

    Looked into it and you are right his businesses are down. So it will be interesting to see how it does over the next 4 years. That said, even if you don't see these actions as corrupt, they do portend a troubling pattern that he definitely needs to examine and rectify.

    Wonderful. I'm glad to see this board has some that haven't gone full partisan. I will definitely pay more attention to your posts in the future. :)

    He is doing exactly what he promised and the left is going to accuse him of everything under the Sun. I've lost too many friends to the crimes of illegals and seen too much fraud that my tax and insurance dollars have to pay for committed by illegals to care about the minutia of Trump's business dealings. Right or wrong, that's the way it is. Trump is the only politician who does anything about the problem.

    Every other politician in Washington ends up a multimillionaire with a golden parachute retirement. They write laws that exempt themselves for insider trading. Why should I single out Trump?

    Watching Chuck Schumer break down in tears, Nancy Pelosci complaining about the current "Bush" presidency, and Maxine Watters hooting and hollering about Putin invading Korea; one has to wonder if it's not the Democratic Party and the leftists who have not reached the breaking point.

    Expect much more political noise from the Congressional Leftists, the Social Justice Federal Courts, and the Swamp Media.

    In the meantime, the Republican controlled House and Senate need to start enacting some legislation to strengthen our national security, and ease the tax burden on the American tax payer. Along with POTUS, they also need to put on the fast track the nomination and approval of the hundreds of open seats on the federal judicial...

    When are we going to get our fiscal house in order and pay down the mountain of debt hanging around the necks of our future generations?

    Actually, you failed to answer the question.

    When, whether or not you agree with policies, do his ethical "lapses" become more than you're willing to accept from the President?

    I'm guessing the ABC voters might not be too supportive over the longer haul.

    Barack Obama did the same thing and we let it go. Do you understand this makes YOU the hypocrite?

    I'm far more concerned about leftists beating others, destroying their property, setting fires, looting and violating the civil rights of others than this. But once these mobs are being arrested, charged and prosecuted, I'd be fine with seeing if crimes are being committed here. I kind of don't think so, but who knows. When you have possible vs obvious law breaking, I'd start with the obvious.

    I was on this website during G.W. I believe that breaking point is a year of the approval ratings hovering around 9-11%, at least for the forum. At that point the discussion turned into an almost irrational "not Bush again!" debate. Some people bitterly held onto Bush though.

    As noted elsewhere....

    "conservatives" have surrendered any and all moral high ground.

    Thanks for the confirmation.

    If he was interested in money I would have thought he would have taken his pay as President. He receives $1.00 a year. Most of his cabinet picks are working for $1.00 a year. There are not many countries that Trump does not have some business in. I believe you are grasping at straws. Why wouldn't Ivanka appear on 60 minutes wearing her own clothes line and jewelry? Hillary wore pants suits by one designer all the time. It is the press who promote these things by being obsessed with what First lady, Hollywood star or singer is wearing.
    Press silliness.

    My breaking point would be "not building the wall and stopping illegal immigration and illegal drugs". I'm already a little teed that he has backed off from "lock her up".

    The essence of my post though was that given the liberal lunacy, hysteria, temper tantrums, intolerance, disgusting behavior and enormous ethical lapses, (lest we forget their corrupt leadership), anything Trump can do pales in comparison.

    Shirley you don't expect us to take these faux "moral/ethical outrages" by lib/prog rioters and thugs engaged in constant smear, violence, boycotts, intimidation and insults as anything other than a good entertainment, do you?

    Trump is surely trying to do what is best for the country.
